Your opinion and I respect that. I guess I can see the need but I really wish that we weren't at a place where this was needed. I'm not even sure what Canada's policy is on this. I know that with universal health care and patient confidentiality and teen pregnancy and crisis centers, we almost never hear of abandonment issues.

There was an incident last year where a drunk father left his house late at night in the middles of a deep freeze (and I mean deep, -50 to -60 C, that's -58 to -78 F for y'all) and his half naked infant daughters followed him out and froze to death. Could we have helped them? I don't think you can catch everything.

This isn't helping my blue mood so I'm out fro awhile. I think I'll look at some funny cats...
